<h1>Changing the grouping order of horizontally rendered groups </h1>
<p>If you move a group on the Grouping panel, thereby changing the grouping 
 order, only the moved group changes its orientation. That is, if you move 
 a horizontally rendered group, that group can become vertically rendered, 
 if necessary, but the orientation of no other groups change. If you move 
 a vertically rendered group, that group can become horizontally rendered, 
 if necessary, but no other orientation changes. </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Note</B></span>: All groups to the right 
 of a horizontally rendered group must be horizontal; a document cannot 
 contain a horizontally rendered group followed by a vertically rendered 
 group. </p>
<p>If you move a horizontally rendered group, its orientation depends on 
 the orientation of the groups to its right. The following rules determine 
 whether it remains horizontal or changes to vertical:</p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>If you move a <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>horizontally</B></span> 
 rendered group to the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>left</B></span></p></li>
	<ul type="square" class="whs2">
		
<li class=p><p>And <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>all groups 
 to the right are horizontal</B></span>, then the moved group remains <span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>horizontal</B></span>.</p></li>
		
<li class=p><p>And at least <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>one 
 group to the right is vertical</B></span>, then the moved group is displayed 
 <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>vertically</B></span>.</p></li>
	</ul>
	
<li class=p><p>If you move a <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>horizontally</B></span> 
 rendered group to the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>right</B></span></p></li>
	<ul type="square" class="whs2">
		
<li class=p><p>All groups to the right must be horizontal by definition, 
 so the moved group remains <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>horizontal</B></span>.</p></li>
	</ul>
</ul>
<p>If you move a vertically rendered group, its orientation depends on 
 the orientation of the groups to its left. The following rules determine 
 whether it remains vertical or changes to horizontal:</p>
<ul type="square" class="whs2">
	
<li style="list-style: disc;" type=disc class=p><p>If you move a <span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>vertically</B></span> rendered group to the <span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>right</B></span></p></li>
	<ul type="square" class="whs2">
		
<li class=p><p>And <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>all groups 
 to the left are vertical</B></span>, then the moved group remains <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>vertical</B></span>.</p></li>
		
<li class=p><p>And at least <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>one 
 group to the left is horizontal</B></span>, then the moved group is displayed 
 <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>horizontally</B></span>.</p></li>
	</ul>
	
<li style="list-style: disc;" type=disc class=p><p>If you move a <span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>vertically</B></span> rendered group to the <span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>left</B></span></p></li>
	
<li class=p><p class="whs3">All groups to the left must 
 be vertical by definition, so the moved group is displayed <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>horizontally</B></span>.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>An in-depth example is included in the <span style="font-style: italic;"><I>Report 
 Services Document Creation Guide</I></span>.</p>
